Florida desperately needed a bounce back game at Auburn on Tuesday night in the first of a tough road stretch.
The Gators were just never able to get it going as the Tigers’ fast-paced style won out.
Florida scored the first points of the game, then again went up by one just after the first media timeout. Little did it know that would be its final lead in a 76-62 loss.
Auburn imposed its will early, turning Florida over five times within the first nine minutes. Still, the Gators were down just 20-17 at the midway point of the first half.
